pads of a saddle, such as is ordinarily used in carriage- The side view in fig. l shows that t-he cushof metal or other suitable material, and adjusted to 4the saddle-tree C by.means of screws, which, being turned, regulate the relative inclinations of the pads B tothe saddle-tree C;

In order to get a greater range of adjnstability, the

pads'are not immediately connected with the saddle- -tree, by means oi' the set-screws a a` and i), the pads are ihns made adjustable in any degree of angle necessary to suit the horses back thesaddle is pnt npou. Various alterations may be made,- without altering the principle of my invention, as here described; and
